The source specified by the TestCaseSource does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable

Description

The source specified by the TestCaseSource must return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable.

Motivation

To prevent tests that will fail at runtime due to improper construction.

How to fix violations

Example Violation

public class AnalyzeWhenSourceDoesProvideIEnumerable
{
    private static readonly int testCases = 42;

    [TestCaseSource(nameof(testCases))]
    public void Test(int input)
    {
    }
}

Explanation

In the sample above, the source specified by TestCaseSource - the field testCases - does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable, instead it returns an int.

However, sources specified by TestCaseSource must return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable..

Fix

Change testCases to return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable:

public class AnalyzeWhenSourceDoesProvideIEnumerable
{
    private static readonly int[] testCases = new int[] { 1, 2, 42 };

    [TestCaseSource(nameof(testCases))]
    public void Test(int input)
    {
    }
}

Configure severity

Via ruleset file

Configure the severity per project, for more info see MSDN.

Via .editorconfig file

# NUnit1019: The source specified by the TestCaseSource does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable
dotnet_diagnostic.NUnit1019.severity = chosenSeverity

where chosenSeverity can be one of none, silent, suggestion, warning, or error.

Via #pragma directive

#pragma warning disable NUnit1019 // The source specified by the TestCaseSource does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable
Code violating the rule here
#pragma warning restore NUnit1019 // The source specified by the TestCaseSource does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable

Or put this at the top of the file to disable all instances.

#pragma warning disable NUnit1019 // The source specified by the TestCaseSource does not return an IEnumerable or a type that implements IEnumerable
